Sweden ranked as most sustainable country in the world

Sweden is the most sustainable country in the world, according to a new study by investment company RobecoSAM.

Zurich-based RobecoSAM focuses exclusively on sustainability investing and assessed 60 countries across a range of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors with Norway coming in second place.

Sweden did not score particularly well on renewable energy or overall energy use but did perform well on liberty and equality, investment in education and the ability to respond to environmental threats.
